Xia Ruofei carefully locked the doors and windows, then took out the Spiritual Map Scroll and entered the space with a thought.
He first measured it with a tape measure. The diameter of the part close to the root had reached 1.25 meters. Almost five months had passed in the five-day space. The diameter of the gold-threaded cedar had grown by at least five centimeters. Xia Ruofei was naturally very satisfied.
Under the Golden Silk Cedar, there were some tools that Xia Ruofei had prepared over the past few days, including hinges, ropes, chainsaws, and so on.
When he was planting it, Xia Ruofei had considered cutting it down, so there were no other plants around this big Golden Silk Cedar. Even the small Golden Silk Cedar that he cut later was very far away from this big Golden Silk Cedar.
So there was a large open area around the Golden Silk Cedar.
As for cutting down trees, although Xia Ruofei didn't have a lot of experience, he had occasionally cut down trees when he was in the army's field survival training. Although he couldn't precisely control the direction of the tree, he could still do it in a general area.
This was enough.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei was now much more agile than ordinary people. If there were any accidents during the cutting process, he would be able to dodge in time.
The most important thing was that in this Ring-Tu space, Xia Ruofei was equivalent to half a master. He could use his mind to communicate with the space and exert a certain amount of control over the Golden Silk Cedar.
Such a big tree naturally couldn't be controlled like an arm, but as long as he could control it a little, it would be enough to ensure his safety.
Xia Ruofei walked around the Golden Silk Cedar, then carried the safety rope on his back, hung the chainsaw on his waist, and climbed up very agilely.
When he came to the branch closest to the ground, Xia Ruofei used the safety rope to secure himself to the tree. Then he grabbed the chainsaw with one hand and pulled with the other. The chainsaw immediately started to move.
Xia Ruofei's physical strength was far superior to the average person's, and he could easily grab the chainsaw with one hand. There was an ear-piercing sound of friction, and wood chips flew everywhere. The branch was quickly cut off and fell to the ground.
Xia Ruofei sawed off all the branches around him, turned off the chainsaw, untied the safety rope, and continued climbing.
From the bottom to the top, Xia Ruofei sawed all the way up, and branches fell off from the trunk one by one. Soon, the whole Phoebe zhennan was left with a bare trunk.
Xia Ruofei put away the chainsaw, untied the safety rope, and nimbly jumped down from the tree.
At this time, the Phoebe Phoebe was surrounded by sawn branches. Xia Ruofei was not in a hurry to cut down the main trunk. He began to clear the branches first.
Xia Ruofei used the chainsaw to separate the especially large branches. Then, he did not waste any of them. He dragged all of them to an open space far away, dug a hole, planted some seeds, watered them, and cut them into pieces.
The variety of this Golden Silk Cedar was very good, and the space environment was unique. As long as the branches were cut, it could basically survive, so naturally, it couldn't be wasted.
In any case, the vegetable fields in the space had basically been cleared out. The original space with the thirty times flow rate was eight mu in size. Most of the land was now empty!
There were a lot of branches this time, and it took a few hours to finish all of them.
Even with Xia Ruofei's astonishing physical strength, he was still sweating profusely.
He scooped up some water from the spirit pool and drank it in big gulps. Then, he sat down and rested for a while before returning to the Gold-Rimmed Phoebe Zhennan.
Now that the bottom of the Phoebe Zhennan tree had been cleaned, there was only a bare trunk left. Of course, this was also the most valuable part of this Phoebe Zhennan tree.
Xia Ruofei had already decided on the location, so he started the chainsaw as soon as he got there. He started sawing at the location near the roots.
First, the chainsaw cut in at an angle from top to bottom. The rapidly spinning chainsaw came into contact with the tree trunk that was more than a meter in diameter. Instantly, wood chips flew everywhere, and the ear piercing sound of friction could be heard.
Xia Ruofei didn't stop until he had sawed seventy to eighty percent of the trunk.
Because he was sawing from top to bottom, the chainsaw didn't get stuck. Xia Ruofei easily pulled the chainsaw out.
Then, he started sawing from bottom to top.
Soon, the two saws met. Xia Ruofei exerted force on his wrist and slightly changed the angle of the chainsaw. Suddenly, a large wedge-shaped piece of wood fell out.
In this way, about three quarters of the bottom of the Phoebe Zhennan tree had been sawed out. Xia Ruofei could faintly hear a slight sizzling sound. That was the tree gradually beginning to lose its balance.
He focused his mind and tried to control the Phoebe Zhennan tree.
Then, he went around to the opposite side of the saw and used the chainsaw to cut off a circle of bark.
Without the pulling force of the bark, the Phoebe Zhennan tree was on the verge of collapse.
Xia Ruofei quickly turned off the chainsaw and flashed back twenty to thirty meters away. Then, with a thought, he used his control of space to exert force on the Phoebe Zhennan tree to face the saw and at the same time removed the restraint on the Phoebe Zhennan tree.
With a flapping sound, a large trunk more than a meter in diameter fell in the direction of the saw. It heavily hit the ground in the space and raised a lot of dust.
Xia Ruofei felt the ground shake. Fortunately, he had a certain degree of control in the space. In addition, he was very agile. If he were to cut down such a large tree in the outside world, it would take several experienced lumberjacks working together to complete it.
Xia Ruofei walked over and used the chainsaw to smooth out the uneven cut.
In the next twenty days, the Phoebe Zhennan tree would lie there quietly and dry naturally, and finally become the so-called "old material".
The real useful and valuable part of the Phoebe Zhennan tree was the core material. The outer circle of bark and sapwood would be discarded when making furniture or other decorative items.
At most, the core material could account for more than 95% of the whole wood.
So after Xia Ruofei smoothed the saw, he immediately squatted down and carefully observed the cut. There were obvious color differences on the cut surface. The outermost circle of the darkest color was the bark.
Then the second outermost layer was a circle of small white edges, which was the part that had not yet formed the core material.
Most of the rest was the core material, which was the most valuable part of the Phoebe Zhennan tree.
As for the sapwood, some black-hearted merchants would use shoddy goods, but in the eyes of experts, it was just scraps.
Xia Ruofei visually estimated that the core material of his Phoebe Zhennan tree was definitely more than 95% of the trunk. This would take at least 150 years to grow in the outside world.
It seemed that the spiritual environment in the space not only accelerated the growth of Phoebe Zhennan tree, but more importantly, it also accelerated the transformation of sapwood into core material. So the core material of this Phoebe Zhennan tree had almost reached its limit.
Xia Ruofei was naturally overjoyed. He couldn't wait to take a tape measure and measure it. The diameter of the core material was close to 1.1 meters.
This was far more than the Phoebe Zhennan tree of Liang Qichao's relative. Last time, Liang Qichao said on the phone that the core material of his relative's Phoebe Zhennan tree was about 95 centimeters.
